PRINTED FABRICS RETAIN THEIR POPULARITY FOR SPRING

Colors and Designs Are New, Fresh BY JEAN PATOU, PARIS, March 3.—Printed fabrics *re of Incomparable assistance to a style creator because of the continuous variations they bring to fashions In general. We pan not tire of them, despite he fact that at the end of every summer It Invariably is decreed that prints definitely are going out. It Is because of their dual qualities of freshness and decorativeness that prints are not likely to disappear from fashion's orbit. Though other fabrics may disappear from the mode after a short-lived vogue, where prints are concerned one altvays can look forward to new compositions in design and coloring which make each sesaon’s offering look totally different from the last. Enchanting for Summer Summer prints are an enchantment of delicate, sunny color schemes, facilitating the couturier’s task in composing countless vaporous and dainty gowns, differing in this from the winter prints that necessarily are more restrained in color and of thicker texture, appearing as they usually do on such materials as moires, lames or velvets. Prints are good -for the spring time also, provided they are used in moderation. The early spring models in my new collection that are made up in printed fabrics are essentially discreet as regards design and coloring, whereas those destined for the summer months are more colorful. This is so far as evening dresses are concerned. Color Schemes Are Discreet The carefully studied technique of cut to be found In the new models that feature prints enables me to use the more discreet of the range of color schemes offered. Black and white or a combination that gives one the impression that black and white predominates are the best, as, for instance, black combined with several shades of gray or black and white and some other pale shade in the pastel green or pinks that remain unobtrusive. Any spring evening dress or printed fabric should, I think, always be accompanied by a wrap of heavier material in a solid color. I think that velvet, in this respect, is an ideal medium. It compensates the sheerness of the dress and supplies the necessary luxurious touch, devoid of fur, as many of this season’s models are, demanded of an evening ensemble. Black Touched With White

Even more discreet coloring and design is required of printed fabrics for afternoon spring clothes. While later on in the season bolder designs and more vivid hues are permissible, black and white are obviously the only possible combination for the first warm spring days. Even here, the white design should not dominate, but the general impression of the ensemble should be rather one of black touched with white than a combination of both. Heavyweight crepes are used for these outdoor models to cope with the vagaries of the season, and in most cases, a long coat of plain fabric conceals the dress. I ique and lingerie touches at collar and cuffs afford a vast field for new ideas and belts of supple patent leather also are a good finishing touch.

Face Badly Disfigured. Ashamed to See Friends. Cuticura Healed/*

“My trouble began with little red blotches appearing all over my face. Later they turned into hard, large, red pimples that were very irritating. They itched and burned something terribly and some nights I could not sleep because of the irritation I was ashamed to see my friends because my face was so badly disfigured. “I read an adve: tisement for Cuticura Scap and Ointment and sent for a free sample of each. I purchased more and in about a month I noticed the pimples were gradually disappearing. It took about four months before I was completely healed.” (Signed) Miss Helen Buklek, 4112 Mt Vernon Milwaukee, Wis. Soap 25c. Ointment 25 and 50c. Talcum 25c- Said everywhere. Sample each free.

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Edna Wallace hopper, our perennial flapper, fairly sizzles over the radio. You can feel her spirits leaping at you as her voice comes lilting over the air. She explains how youthful and agile and lovely she is, and into her tone she' throws all the' juvenile cadences. If the effect is a little strained, .what does it matter 0 It seems that Miss Hopper has retained her youth, because of important European discoveries. Her entire bunih of recipes boasts a foreign origin.' Some amazing Viennese physician, or a remarkable Paris specialist, had accomplished wonders with women’s looks, so Miss Hopper goes over and gobbles them all up for her clients. And the more I listen to her enthusiasms over the radio, the more I am determined to grow old calmly. These gyrations of a woman past 60 are the most wearisome things in the world. tt u WHY in the name of sense should a woman want to look 16 all her life? In the first place, looking 16 would entail acting 16, and that would be torture. Miss Hopper, to be true, makes a great to-do because the jelly beans try to date her up. Can you imagine anything less thrilling if you had attained the ripe age of three-score years? Even in the middle thirties, jollying jelly beans would be my idea of a right tiresome pastime. Miss Hopper and all the other perennial young things assume that there are pleasures for maturity and no compensations for age. They are wrong. Each age has its delights. And the most foolish thing any woman can do, unless she is in thq business of selling cosmetics, is to try to mix the pleasures of one age with those of another. I am wondering also why more girls do not take a course in pharmacy. The ability to analyze face creams comes in handy for any woman.

Facts About Eyes HEADACHES ARE OF COURSE not always caused by eye strain. But they often are. They TOO OFTEN are. That is, much of the headache is unnecessary. In fact all headaches that are definitely proven to be caused by eye strain are overcome when the strain is removed by the correction of the errors of vision.
